te The case of the resignation of Rabbi EnglaniJer of Kingston N. Y., ¦will rock Je-wlsh circles Tvhen the circumstances are made public . . . There's a-n un¬ savory story of Intimidation of the trustees of his congregation — of threats that their busi¬ nesses would be boycotted if they did not disavow their Rab¬ bi .¦. . The Rabbl'jB only crime -was his protest against the teachlng''of Christian prayers to Jewish pupils In the public schools . . . The' reason why an advertisement telling of'the An- muth beating case of Philadel¬ phia was rejected by the Phila¬ delphia Record Is that pressure was, applied by a group of Jew¬ ish leaders . . . These gentlemen do not believe in publicising antl-Jewlsh outrages . . . 'Vir¬ tually every Jewish community in the Unlted/fetates reports an . inccepse in/'anti-Semitic inci¬ dents . . . ndt the policy of our defense orainlzatlons is to keep this situation fr.om the public eye. . . We're told, incidentally^ that the American Society for y the'Control of Cancer has one- X^^ unbreakable rule: No Jew on Its ^vboard....

Don't be surprised If both Dr. Wise and Dr. Silver resign from the co-chairmanahlp of the Zionist Emergency Council.
